I must say that Twilight the Soundtrack is quite the rave for me nowadays. The songs featured inside are all quite catchy and you have nice beats, fast ones, kind of melodramatic tunes and sometimes kind of rock sounding. Including in the rock tunes and other beats would …

This is Nirvana’s debut album released in 1989 on Sub Pop Records and produced by Jack Endino who also produced the album Screaming Life by Soundgarden. The album takes it’s name from an AIDS campaign telling heroin users to bleach their needles. Bleach is a good album, it features …

For all we know, only teens were here for him before his comeback …

This guitar pedal by digitech has to be one of the best investments I have made in my musical life. I love how you can play a nice simple scale on a regular clean setting and then immediately stomp on the pedal, yielding a more sustain and distorted sound. …

In south Florida there’s a radio station that I can trust that has some of the best classic rock hits from the 60s,70s,80s and 90s. It is called 105.9. I enjoy the music this radio station has and it has a wide variety of Led Zeppelin,Rush,Bob Seger,Van Halen,ACDC and …

John Denver: Rocky Mountain Christmas CD is a really nice album to play during the holidays especially if you like that crisp, outdoor feel, because that is present all through this record. Denver was known for his environmental beliefs and the song choices for this album reflect that.
It …

This is a track that takes me back to my last year at University, this was when it was released, 2003 I think. I don’t re-call many sharing my opinion as it was So Solid Crew.
Previous tracks had caused offense to some and they had been in the press …

I bought the CD Hopes and Fears basically because of the song “Everybody’s Changing”. I just fell inlove with it the first time I heard it, so I told myself I have to buy the CD. Hopes and Fears is Keane’s debut album and contains 12 songs. I must …

He Wasn’t by Avril Lavinge is a song about how this girl does not like her guy that much any more and decides he is not the kind of guy she is looking for. The guy is hanging her out to dry and that is how lots of guys …

Alanis Morissette’s album, Jagged Little Pill, has quite the catchy little title. I like that! In fact, that was the first thing that I really liked about this CD. The second thing that I really liked was the presentation of the sound on the tracks. Alanis Morissette has a …

The Rat is my favourite distortion/fuzz pedal. This pedal is always on my board and I’m always using it as my ‘go to’ distortion. It’s so versitile, with sounds ranging from just a slight boost to a full blown rough fuzz. It’s very easy to use and …

The band’s eight studio album and second on Virgin Records, the second without Brian Welch, and the first without drummer David Silveria. The band used Terry Bozzio, Brooks Wackerman and Jon Davis on drums. The band Re-Recording most of The Matrix’s tracks for the album, weeding them out entirely. …

Let me just say it’s a shame this album took too long to catch on. Jordin sparks has incredible vocal talents. I mean, she was just born to be a singer. I love her look; she’s not super thin and I hope she never goes that way; she’s just …

Bon Jovi is one of those huge artists in music that will always be in the major leagues of Rock N Roll forever and they will probably play big gigs til there done. One of the songs I really like by them and it is huge hit is the …

Often times, concept music is a genre that just seems to do nothing but turn me off. For the most part, I find music that tells fictional stories to be insufferable, as they seem to always fall into the same boring tones regardless of who is performing it. This …

If you like redneck humor such as the Blue Colar Comedy tour, then this album is for you. I personaly love this kind of stuff, and Rodney Carrington Live is one of my favorites. From his story of having kids and wanting to “beat them” (its a joke of …

During the late nineties, there was a bit of a revival of the more melodic progressive rock that had been popular in the mid to late eighties. While the eighties saw a very stripped down kind of sound, with a heavy emphasis on melodic guitar lines and keyboard sounds, …

Between the Buried and Me (BTBAM) is a progressive metalcore band. Yeah that’s right, that —˜shouty angry’ music your dad really hates, but with more spice and flavour. To someone not used to this sort of music I can see it being a challenge to listen to, with dissonance, …

Memories is a song by Weezer which appears on their album Hurley. Oddly, the song opens up with an abstract sounding intro before going into the rest of the track which carries the very characteristic Weezer power pop sound. The intro personally seemed a bit disjointed from the rest …

Overview - Toxicity, System Of A Down’s second record, takes the heaviness, aggression, and attitude they had in their first record and combines it with some melody to produce an overall better balanced and more varied record. By no means does this mean that this record is light - …

Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …

Lenny Kravitz again to release the album in 2008. Kravitz still survive with the kind of rhythm from previous albums. However, that looks great, this musician is still making music genre that he played, still comfortable to hear. Not too different from the album It Is Time For A …

Bon Jovi, who did not know them? Although I just know about their music and songs in the 2000’s. For first time I listen to their songs so, I love them.

Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number
Blackground/Jive Records

There isn’t any other video that reeks of 90s style Hip Hop and R&B other than Aaliyah’s “Back And Forth”. This song and video was her debut on the music scene back in the early 90s, off of her first …

Everybody who plays guitar knows Yngwie Malmsteen. I grew up listening to his music. In my teens I always wondered could I play the guitar like him? No doubt that he is one of the most influential guitarist in the world. His speed and neoclassical styles had inspired …

Sometimes, the best things are found in the strangest of places. From the midst of the often incredibly angsty underground music scene comes a completely unexpected ray of sunshine in the form of a band with a typically ironic name — Cheap Seats.
The band at first glance is rather …

What do you guys think of Back To Black by Amy Winehouse? As for me personally, I think that album by Amy this time round is kind of better. But only if she could change her image for a bit, to make it better or some sort, it …

This is perhaps one of the most underrated songs that Prince has ever written. On his LoveSexy album, this song is the epitome of intimacy. The lyrics have this way of getting under your skin. Perhaps it’s the quiet inensity of Prince’s voice. Perhaps it’s …

The song started out with a fast beat of the drum as Kim Walker started to sing the introduction of the song Happy Day. I was really impressed on the way her voice was. Not that high toned pitch but her voice was more of an alto to soprano. …
